问答题 1.  We do not often consider how much energy goes into creating comforts like hot showers and cold beer. A more efficient refrigerator will give us the same cold beer while using less energy. A more water-efficient showerhead will give us the same hot shower while using less water; less water requires less energy. By being more efficient, we use less energy, requiring fewer resources and less money.
    We have a lot of opportunities for energy efficiency at home. Whether you are ready to upgrade an appliance to an ENERGY STAR rated model or replace conventional light bulbs with more efficient ones, you will enjoy the same level of comfort in your daily life while saving both energy and money.
【正确答案】

通常我们不会考虑享用热水澡和冰啤酒会消耗多少能源。节能型冰箱能使我们喝到冰啤酒的同时还能节约能源。节水型花洒同时能让我们洗上热水澡,还能节约用水;节水的同时还节约了能源。高效率能使我们节约能源,从而节省资源,还可以省钱。
我们在家有很多提高能效的机会。无论您是准备升级一个设备到能源星级模式或取代传统灯泡更有效的,您将享受同等程度的舒适,在您的日常生活中,同时节省能源和金钱。
